Boys Basketball: CdM knocked out by Ganesha

LA HABRA - After trailing by just five points at halftime, the

Corona del Mar High boys basketball team fell behind quickly with

turnovers and missed shots. And, Ganesha took advantage with a 65-47

victory to close out the North Orange County Tournament at Sonora High

School Saturday night.

“We just kind of let that one get away,” CdM Coach Paul Orris said.

“It wasn’t one thing that made us lose. Our defense let down. We had a

hard time with our athleticism. Once we get behind like that, we have a

hard time catching up.”

Sea Kings’ senior Eric Snell led CdM with 16 points, including four

three-pointers. Idean Shahangian, another senior, scored 13, and

sophomore Kevin Mancillas hit three three-pointers for his nine points.

“It’s taking us a little bit longer to get on track because of the

football players that got to us late,” Orris continued. “We need to keep

positive and keep learning. Hopefully, we can use the four days of

practice to go over some of the things we haven’t been doing.”

The Sea Kings (3-6) will play at Fullerton Friday in a nonleague game.
